Chapter 489: Chapter 132: Who Eliminated Whom_2

In the process of stepping forward, the cousin began to remove his own defenses.

Armor, magical tools, witchcraft, all were removed one by one.

He even took off his shirt, showing his muscular upper body.

“Decide!”

The cousin pointed to his own left chest and spoke word by word, “I will stand here, waiting for you to dig out my heart!”

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

The illusion of Link was very realistic, like a real person, showing confusion in his eyes, “It feels like you can’t wait to die by my hand, why?”

“No, you’ve got it wrong.”

The cousin remained calm, speaking seriously, “I’m just executing the mission given to me by the family, to fight you to death.”

“Hmm…”

Link pondered for a while, asking with increasing confusion, “Has the Lucia family always been this reckless? If so, I’d be curious to know how you grew.”

“That’s none of your business, just come out and fight, responsibility for life and death lies with oneself.”

The cousin totally ignored Link’s insinuation, maintained his principles, and was determined to fight Link to the death.

However, the more he acted like this, the more Link couldn’t let him get what he wanted.

Things that the enemy wants to do should never be allowed!

Link smiled, the corner of his mouth turned up: “Did you miss me?”

The illusion once again launched an attack of sound bombing.

Meanwhile, the real Link quietly arrived at the cave where Hawk Lucia and two innocent teammates were held captive.

The illusion was given to Franda to control.

“Long time no see.”

As if seeing an old friend, Link warmly greeted Hawk.

“Long time no see.”

Upon hearing the footsteps, Hawk, who initially showed joy, had his heart clenched, his voice involuntarily darkened.

Hawk instinctively thought that Link Grande finding this place meant that all Lucias outside had been killed.

Thus, he began to feel down.

“We’ve never really communicated, have we?”

Link ignored the other two people, stood in front of Hawk, and looked down at him.

“No.”

Hawk looked up to meet Link’s scrutinizing gaze, and said seriously, “Strictly speaking, there are not many people in the Lucia family who have had a serious exchange with you.”

“Hmm…”

Link asked curiously, “So, could you, Hawk Lucia, once known as the ‘Pure Blood Volition’, one of the two widely known enlightened individuals, answer me why the Lucia family initiated this attack on me for no reason, even if we have already reconciled?”

Link paused and emphasized, “I really can’t understand. What benefits could this bring to the Lucia family? I seem too naive to see anything beneficial for Lucia’s Family besides personnel casualties, punishment from the academy, and the disgust of high-ranking officials who intends to reconcile between Lucia’s family and Sage Palo. ”

A flash of pain crossed Hawk’s eyes, his voice becoming increasingly dull: “I can’t figure it out either.”

“But you still withdrew from the Palo Sage army halfway.”

Link asked sharply.

“The family commanded, I had to obey.”

Hawk explained his motivation.

“How many times has it been?”

Link changed the direction of the conversation and abruptly asked this question.

After thinking carefully, Hawk replied honestly, “This is the third time I received the order, and the second time I executed it.”

“So…”

A thick ice spear appeared in Link’s hand, held against Hawk’s throat, he drew out his words, “Could you give me a reason not to kill you?”

Hawk didn’t answer, closing his eyes to await death.

He who kills is bound to be killed.

Even if no actions have been executed, just harboring the intent to kill and attempting to act on it, you can’t blame others if you are killed in return.

At this moment, Hawk Lucia calmly accepted his impending death.

However, he suddenly thought of his friend, Bobby Smith.

“I’m sorry.”

After the age of 8, Hawk Lucia, who hadn’t cried once, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

However, after waiting for long, Hawk still did not feel the stab of the ice spear.

The chill stimulation could still be felt on his throat and chin.

Opening his eyes, he found the ice spear still in place, hovering in the air.

Link Grande had disappeared.

The other two teammates who were bound together had their bindings removed and were moving their hands and feet.

Hawk kept turning his head, looking for the figure of Link Grande.

“Stop looking, they’ve gone,”

One of the innocent teammates spoke up, “Don’t wonder why they didn’t kill you, it’s simply not worth it.”

Another teammate chimed in: “Exactly, they have a bright future ahead. They didn’t want to bear the blemish of their hands, tarnish their reputation, and hamper their progress.”

“But… ”

Hawk Lucia voiced out his doubts, seemingly muttering to himself but also asking his innocent teammates, “This doesn’t align with his style of holding a grudge.”

The first innocent teammate who spoke earlier scoffed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. “If they can kill you here, can’t they do it elsewhere? If they truly want to kill, they could do it anytime when you are on your own. They simply don’t want to, or can’t do it.”

The other teammate added, “You should thank those Tier 3 Wizards, quasi-sages, and sages of your family. If not for their deterrence, you would have died already.”

Upon finishing their words, they ignored Hawk Lucia. After stretching their limbs, they found another spot to sit and wait for the end of the game.

As a teammate, one cannot surrender or voluntarily quit the competition.

They can only wait for the end of the game or leave the safe zone to get eliminated.

On the other side.

The cousin finally grasped Link Grande’s intentions.

He neither fought nor showed himself, simply delaying them, preventing them from advancing towards the central area of the competition.

Shortly, when the second hour passed and the safe zone further shrank, they could be eliminated using the competition rules.

“Let’s go!”

After figuring this out, the cousin made a decisive decision to head to the central area of the competition, seeking an opportunity to fight Link Grande.

“Did you miss me?”

The cousin had just put on his equipment and changed the direction when a new illusion quickly appeared, blocking their way.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

It seemed as if a sound had triggered, and four illusions spontaneously appeared, blocking the path of the two uninjured members of Lucia’s family and the two outermost members.

“Did you miss me?”

Four overlapping eerie sounds greeted them enthusiastically, blocking their path.

Following the old man’s instructions, Franda halted them promptly.

“Attack!”

The cousin shouted.

The two members of the Lucia family and the two outer members immediately executed the command, casting their witchcraft.

For a moment, loud rumbling sounds echoed while lights scattered everywhere.

Six different attack spells, either water system, wood system, light system, or compound witchcraft, hit the non-resistant illusions.

Without a substantial body and purely formed by tiny elements of magical power from various systems, the illusion controlled by the cognitive mind puppetry technique of a True Spirit Wizard could not stand against the first ring of witchcraft and disintegrated at the first touch.

“Let’s move.”

The cousin immediately gave a new command.

However, before the two outer members could lift the injured from the ground, new illusions sprang up, blocking their way.

“Did you…”

Having anticipated, the cousin waved his hand.

After probing the essence of the illusion, he didn’t even need to use witchcraft. Employing the techniques of a True Spirit Wizard’s spiritual power directly shattered the illusions.

Dabbling in other systems of witchcraft was never a privilege limited to one person.

“Don’t worry about it, keep moving forward,”

The cousin gave the command, taking the lead to move forward with large strides.

Seeing this, Franda, incarnated as the Spirit of the Wind, was secretly getting anxious.

The task of stalling this group was just assigned to her by the old man, but was she going to fail so soon?

Damn it!

This is your doing!

Fire spewed from Franda’s eyes. Staring at the cousin, who had seen through her little trick, she felt frustrated.

After gritting her teeth, Franda directly used her authority as the “Spirit” of the “Small World” to channel the Origin Power to bolster herself. She then personally transformed into the chest ring of the old man’s battle mode.

Yes, Franda transformed herself into a ring.

Energy was accumulated in an instant, and the modified version of “Melting Rays” was about to make another appearance.

“Don’t rush, Franda.”

At this moment, Link’s voice sounded, stopping Franda’s attack in anger, “Look closely, where are they heading to?”

Franda turned to look and noticed Lucia’s family was moving away from the center of the competition, heading outside the safe zone.

The eerie noise attack was just a cover.

Link’s real move against Lucia’s family was the Origin Power enhanced “Spiritual Maze.”

The sustained eerie noise attack was designed to lower Lucia’s family’s mental defense.

So the Origin Power enhanced “Spiritual Maze” could secretly affect them, misleading Lucia’s family to the wrong direction, walking out of the safe zone by themselves.

So, the question is:

Who exactly eliminated Lucia’s family?
